MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG)
(LON:IHG), (NYSE:IHG) (ADRs), announces the completion of a significant
renovation of the Holiday
Inn Resort Aruba - Beach Resort and Casino, one of the island’s
landmark resorts. The hotel is located on Palm Beach, known by visitors
as the finest beach on the island, offering guests one of the most
beautiful views in the Caribbean.

IHG’s first presence in the Caribbean dates back to the early 1960’s and
in Aruba specifically since 1967. The nearly 600-room property in Aruba
caters to guests that are looking for a unique resort experience, family
fun or a relaxing getaway. The hotel’s renovations include upgrades to
its guest rooms, lobby and landscaping around the property. In addition,
the resort’s outdoor amenities now feature three swimming pools,
Jacuzzi, full-service spa, as well as an updated beachfront Sea Breeze
Restaurant & Bar, Oceanside Bar & Grill and the new Palm Bar.

“Strengthening IHG’s presence in Aruba remains key for our business as
we focus on growing our portfolio in top resort markets,” said Alvaro
Diago, COO, Latin America and Caribbean, IHG. “Through IHG’s significant
renovation coupled with the oceanfront location and resort-style
amenities at the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba – Beach Resort and Casino, we
have further positioned this resort to provide our guests with a
memorable vacation experience as one of the best resorts on the island.”

“The Holiday Inn Resort Aruba – Beach Resort and Casino has seen
continued success due to the ideal beachfront location, outstanding
service offering and amenities available to guests, all at a great
value,” said Heather Balsley, senior vice president, Americas Holiday Inn®
Brand Family. “Now with the latest enhancements to the property, we look
forward to showcasing all of the new upgrades that the hotel has to
offer guests and allowing them to continue to have a unique resort
experience.”

The Holiday Inn brand was conceived as a way to bring the joy of travel
to families in a fun, affordable and comfortable way. The brand’s
innovative approach changed the way millions of people travel, and ended
up bringing the whole world together. Now, over 62 years later, the
brand continues to evolve to meet the demands of today’s traveller.
That’s why IHG invested in the $1 billion Holiday Inn global brand
relaunch, the largest in hospitality history, which included the
transition of the Holiday Inn Resort brand from the Holiday Inn
SunSpree® Resorts brand in 2007. The relaunch continues to drive
increased quality and consistency across the global portfolio, and new
hotels feature a contemporary image with emphasis on arrival and welcome
services, guestroom and guest bath comfort and a redesigned logo and
signage.

Caribbean, where its brands have been serving guests for 65 years. IHG
has hotels situated in nearly every key market throughout Latin America
and the Caribbean.
